Butter Knife Carving Workshop

About: Designer Melanie Abrantes will lead students in hand carving their own Butter Knife using traditional Japanese tools and techniques. The class will start with a discussion of different wood types, an explanation of the tools required, and an overview of the techniques used to cut wood. Once students have acquired a basic understanding, Melanie will lead them in carving and designing the handle and blade of the butter knife. When the final design has been reached, students will sand and finish their knives with an all-natural finish. All tools will be provided to use during the workshop, with the option of purchasing the tools at a discounted rate to continue your spoon making practice at home!
